  Forever my favourite comic on tumblr.

  RELEVANT TO BOOKCLUB DISCUSSIONS.

  I had to re-post this because, eerily enough, this subject is exactly what Peter and I were discussing, coming home on the train from work just the other day.  Get out of my head, Mel Brain!!

  Thank You

  Thanks again to everyone who came out to the Tune-Out last night; I was so moved to have so many kind folks interested in hearing the new songs I’ve been working on.  I’ll never forget it.  Thanks to John Vettese for the kick in the pants to write 6 jams in a month.  This feels like a great beginning to 2013, I’m excited for the things to come.  Those who couldn’t stay for the film La Strada (and anyone who hasn’t seen it), go see it!!

  Thanks again, everyone.  More Europe tour dates to come!
